If you’re in your twenties and have a heartbeat, the chances are pretty high that you have probably taken the walk of shame. Whether in a relationship, “hanging out” with someone, seeing your “Winter Buddy”, or just having a sleepover with a rando, that brisk walk back to your apartment the next day in yesterday’s…

It’s kind as if your writer was missing in action for a brief moment in time -but seriously don’t let that small amount of time off fool you. As a defense this never-ending damn Polar Vortex perhaps has played a major part in supplying an infinite amount of brain freeze -literally. However, that’s not the…

I’d like to take this moment to formally apologize to anyone who was my friend before winter fell. Maybe I have that SAD problem, maybe I need a special lamp or some more Vitamin D, but I think of it more as I Don’t Like Being Cold Syndrome. Elsa should not have let it go.…

My name is Jasmine and I’m a pole dancer. I know what you’re thinking: I always knew she’d end up stripping. That’s not what I said. Pole dancing is a wildly popular form of dance, sport, and exercise that is still highly stigmatized. But we’re not strippers, we keep on our clothes… (not a ton…

#BanBossy… The movement started by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in which she wants to ban the word “bossy” as she says it is detrimental to the future success of women. The reasoning behind the push to ban the word as stated at banbossy.com: “When a little boy asserts himself, he’s called a “leader.” Yet when…

I’m in love for the second time. But this one just feels right. This time, TV is my boyfriend. I can’t even explain it, there’s just something about TV that I’m so drawn to! And I told myself I would never open my heart up again, but here I am. I just can’t get enough.…

I, like everyone have heard the old cliché of “the one that got away.” I also always thought that it was bullshit. The concept of love itself seemed to be flawed to me. I never had experienced it outside of the context of family, which let’s face it is more of an obligation rather than…

There can be no doubt on the fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; it is imperative that both grown-ups and children do not skip this meal. A common misconception amongst dieters is that skipping breakfast will help you lose weight because it restricts your daily calorie intake. The truth is that skipping the breakfast can sabotage your best weight loss…

By Savannah Coulsen If you’re like most men, you probably ask your girlfriend what she wants you to wear before a big events in the hopes of stopping a fight before it happens. You already know the drill and what happens next. She tells you that she doesn’t care, but you know that she thinks about fashion…

Murray Hill sports destination Bottomzup Bar and Grill is ready to crown the city’s best bartender, but this competition won’t feature craft cocktails and uptight judges: they’re inviting New York barflys to work a paid shift with the top three earners taking home a share of five grand! Think you can bring in a winning crowd? Everyone over 21…

As a born New Yorker, when I hear that a snow storm is coming, I think of the essentials I need to purchase: wine and snacks. No, I don’t need a flashlight or three blankets kept in my car. In New York City, everything is around the corner. You can look up any restaurant you…

However you look at it, it’s a day that you can celebrate your loved ones and try something new! New York City, “The City…
